Deuce 21/21

Bad luck.

Jas smashes the girl to get 1/2.

They trail 6/8.

7/9.
NZ gets to 11/8.

They need to fire up.

10/13.

Too many mistakes from anxiety.

They lose the set 21/12. Good experience for the young ones who can play again next year and for Bella for the next 4 years.

Jas is sitting down looking dejected. I go over and console him.
We do a selfie for his parents and he manages a smile.
